Competition: Win The Grifters on Blu-Ray

We’ve got prizes a’plenty here at Blueprint: Review this month. Our latest competition celebrates the launch of 101 Films’ new Black Label. The Grifters and eXistenZ are the first titles being released of this specially curated, numbered series of dual format limited editions, complete with original artwork and newly-commissioned extras. We’ve got one copy of The Grifters on dual format Blu-Ray and DVD to give away to one lucky reader.

Details on how to enter the competition are at the bottom of this page, but in the meantime, here’s some information about The Grifters:

From director Stephen Frears (Dangerous Liaisons) and producer Martin Scorsese, comes The Grifters, a taut thriller in which seduction and betrayal could lead to murder. When small-time cheat Roy Dillon winds up in hospital following an unsuccessful scam, it sets up a confrontation between his estranged mother Lilly and alluring girlfriend Myra. Both Lilly and Myra are con artists playing the game in a league far above Roy, and always looking for their next victim. As Roy finds himself caught in a complicated web of passion and mistrust, the question is who’s conning who?

The Grifters features a stellar cast including John Cusack (Grosse Pointe Blank), Anjelica Huston (Crimes and Misdemeanors, The Addams Family) and Annette Bening (American Beauty, Film Stars Don’t Die in Liverpool).

• Limited edition booklet includes: ‘Jim Thompson, Noir, and the Popular Front’, an essay by David Cochran, and ‘Elmer Bernstein: Grit not Grift’, a review of the legendary composer’s career by Charlie Brigden
